Water

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Water Say No to Plastic Straws

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

Brittany Vonarx 4/24/2019 10:40 AM

I regularly use straws, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, etc. I could substitute those products with others that are more long lasting material like stainless steel water bottles and elastic or metal reusable straws.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?

Brittany Vonarx 4/08/2019 5:13 AM

I have been in that situation before and it sucks! I had to just put it in the cart and hope for the best. I think I could probably use a cardboard box as a substitute or always make sure that I carry reusesble bags with me when I go shopping or somewhere where I might need to grab some items.
